>>16077930I mean look at it from some starvimg peasants perspective..gloriois death in battle grants you access to Valhala. Die outside of battle, banished tonthe realm of smoke and shadow to forwver be a dour shade. Along comes the Christian God, all men, great an meek can enter into paradise so long as you acknowlege me. There were more meek men than heros as we started to serttle into villages and it was easier to keep the serf inline. It is why the Neeztch called chritianity a religeon full of slaves...no need to do great deeds, just get on your knees and paradise is yours. Serve your master and you will be rewarded..later
